MeMa's House

We had a great trip to MeMa's house recently.  I love the fact that my boys are able to know one of their Great-Grandmothers so well.  They love going to visit with her and get spoiled to no end.  We had a great time playing outside with a large bowling set (the boys were so excited), playing with a large sprinkler ball, and just general relaxation.

Wordless Wednesday: Trip to Mema's

Randomness

It's Monday....I'm not a huge fan of Monday mornings.  But, today will be a good day!  And I will not fall asleep at work....I hope :)

We had a busy weekend traveling to Mema's house again.  C had a blast and kept everyone on their feet.  Lots of running, soccer, bowling and snacks.  Gotta love Memas!

We started potty training last week.  We're following my moms lead since she's with C most during the day.  Most of my mommy friends are doing the 3-day potty training technique, my mom prefers a more child led approach, which I am all for.  So, C wears underwear, we remind him to sit every 45 min or so, and if he goes great...if not, he gets a new pair of underwear when needed.  Since this is my blog, and I can brag if I want to...last Thursday, C went pee and poop on the potty!  Twice!  That's right, my toddlers a genius at the potty.  However, he was home with daddy on Friday, so he didn't wear any underwear (too many errands to run) and we didn't do the underwear thing at Mema's this weekend...oops.  Also, I might have used a little bribe with my iPhone.  C loves to play games on it, and since I KNEW he had to go, I let him have the phone when he asked to play a game...mommy fail...but he went pee and poopy on the potty, twice! 

My dog stayed the weekend at my parents house while we went to Mema's, I opened his crate this morning at 5:20, and he has yet to come out, it's 6:15.  Tired little puppy!

Hubby took this picture a couple months ago.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!! 

A Trip in Pictures

Two weekends ago we went to visit Hubby's grandma, C's Mema.  We had so much fun!  We left around 4:00am hoping that C and I would sleep most of the way and wouldn't have to stop as often.  Well, I walked into C's room and he was sitting up in his crib waiting for me!  He was wide awake!  He did doze off and on in the car, but not more than an hour the whole 4.5 hour trip! 

This is actually from another trip...but you get the idea!

We arrived at Memas and she had a big country breakfast ready for us!  Yummy!  After breakfast C dragged us outside.  It was HOT!  He had a great time showing off his ball skills.

Next, against much complaining, we headed inside to rest.  Hubby, Mema, and I all fell asleep...not C!  I got him to lay down in front of the TV and "rest" but he did not fall asleep.  After nap time, we bowled a little while Mema got a huge lunch together.  C is in the middle of an eating strike, so we were pleasantly surprised when he chowed down on some roast beef, mashed potatoes, and corn.  Then, he talked us into going outside again! 

C got to meet a couple new animal friends as well!  Hubby's sister keeps a horse at Memas.  He had fun seeing the "dog" from the window.  Mema also has a cat that he had a great time "playing" with!  He also meet Annie, a dog of one of Hubby's aunts.  We told C that this is Annie, and to be careful because she's smaller than he's used to.  Every time someone would tell C that the dogs name was Annie, he would get down on her level and say "I C, I C" introducing himself...so cute! 

Remember the nap C didn't take?  Well, we put him in his chair for dinner so he could eat because he was fading quick around 6:00.  This is what happened while we were cutting his food for him.  Needless to say, he slept well that night! 

Then we left on Sunday.  A very quick trip, but lots of fun!  And we hardly ever see C get that tired :)
